Throughout my life I would get a period of a week or so where I had uncomfortable anxiety. Sometimes a specific situation, sometimes not. I have a list of things to do to get me through it and they work. Three years ago I had a bout running into a month. Nothing specific. None of my methods worked. Talked to my MD and she put me on some low dose meds. Talked with a therapist for 6 months and we stopped because I was through it. MD cut my already low dose in half and, after big trip in early June I intend to stop them.

That is the way it should work.

You have a problem, you are given tools and taught methods to deal with that problem, you use them. The problem might or might not be solved but it is now handled.

Maybe in the future you might need more help but likely not.

There is nothing wrong with therapy until you make it a chosen lifestyle.
